Mount Niuheng was located in the north of Puzhou.
The terrain of Mount Niuheng was quite steep. It stretched across the road from Pu Prefecture to Jiang Prefecture in the north. However, the bandits of Mount Niuheng had their own rules. They didn't go down the mountain to rob ordinary people. They only collected toll from merchants.
Even on the mountain, Niu Hengshan planted some food so that he could be self-sufficient. That was why the imperial court didn't attack Mount Niuheng.
After all, although there were bandits in Mount Niuheng, they didn't affect the people.
The imperial court didn't have the power to deal with these things.
Mount Niuheng.
In the Hall of Brotherhood.
At the head of the table, a middle-aged man with a tall and sturdy figure was sitting on a tiger skin chair. His name was Xiao Yuanqi. He used to be a general of the Sui Dynasty. After the Sui Dynasty fell, Xiao Yuanqi became a bandit and lived in Mount Niuheng.
Xiao Yuanqi sat and looked at the people below.
Below him were the leaders of Mount Niuheng.
They were leaders, but they used to be captains in the army. They used to be Xiao Yuanqi's subordinates.
These people were all fierce generals.
Xiao Yuan Qi himself was very strong, and he controlled his subordinates well. The whole team was very well-behaved. Even though Niu Hengshan only had over a hundred men, in reality, the fighting strength of these hundred men was extremely powerful.
In fact, the government didn't want to provoke Xiao Yuanqi.
On one hand, Xiao Yuanqi knew the rules and rarely went down the mountain to cause trouble. On the other hand, Xiao Yuanqi wasn't easy to mess with.
Xiao Yuanqi looked around and said, "Brothers, it's almost spring. We've survived this year's cold winter. Therefore, as the beginning of spring approaches, many merchants will pass by our Bull Hengshan Mountain. During this time, tell the brothers to keep an eye on the merchants going north. They have to pay a part of the money. In short, we still follow the principle. As long as we follow the rules, everything will be fine. If we don't follow the rules, we won't follow the rules. We'll kill and rob. "
"Understood!"
The crowd answered in unison.
"Report!"
At this moment, a bandit shouted as he ran in from outside.
Although he was a bandit, he was wearing a full set of armor. He was dressed like a soldier. This was Xiao Yuanqi's arrangement. He ordered his subordinates to do this. They couldn't relax.
Xiao Yuan Qi's rule was that when you are free, you can play as much as you want. When it was time to do something, they had to be cautious and conscientious. They couldn't overstep their boundaries.
This was Xiao Yuan Qi's rule.
Everyone in Hengniu Mountain followed Xiao Yuan Qi's order.
Everything they had was given by Xiao Yuan Qi.
After the bandit entered, he knelt down on one knee and reported, "Boss, a brother from the foot of the mountain came to report. Wang Yu from the Wang Family of Taiyuan is here to visit. He said that he has something important to discuss with you. "
Xiao Yuanqi squinted his eyes and said, "The Wang Family of Taiyuan is an aristocratic family. How could they have the time to visit us? Let's meet him and invite him up the mountain. "
"Yes!"
The bandit turned around and left.
Xiao Yuan Qi waved his hand and said, "Let's get back to work. Now that it's spring, we need to make plans for this year. After all, many of our brothers here will go to the brothels whenever they have the time. If you don't have money, how can you go to a brothel and look for women? "
As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter.
His words were crude, but his reasoning was not.
On Mount Hengniu, there was a group of men. If they always stayed on the mountain, they wouldn't last long. Therefore, Xiao Yuan Qi often gave his men holidays to relax, but strictly forbade them to violate the law. Therefore, they all had to go to the restaurants or brothels to look for women. This was the most common thing.
They all left while talking and laughing. Soon, only Xiao Yuan Qi was left in the hall.
Soon, Wang Yu entered the hall.
Now that Wang Yu had come here, he was fully prepared. Especially since he was from the Wang Family of Taiyuan, he had his own dignity. Especially when he looked at Xiao Yuan Qi, his eyes were filled with condescension.
Wang Yu said, "Wang Yu from the Wang Family of Taiyuan greets Boss Xiao."
Xiao Yuan Qi said, "Sit!"
Wang Yu sat down and said with a smile, "Although I've heard a lot about Mount Hengniu. But this is the first time for me to climb the mountain. Now that I'm climbing the mountain, I see a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Especially the brothers of Mount Hengniu are fierce and brave. They are indeed elites. Mount Hengniu, Xiao Yuan Qi, you live up to your reputation. "
Xiao Yuan Qi said, "You flatter me. It's just an undeserved reputation. It's not worth mentioning. What's more, I'm just a bandit. This kind of praise is more like sarcasm. "
After a pause, Xiao Yuan Qi said, "Why are you here? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush."
Wang Yu said, "Okay, I'll say it. The reason I came to Bull Hengshan this time is to make a deal with Chief Xiao. "
Xiao Yuan Qi said, "What deal?"
Wang Yu said, "A killing deal."
Xiao Yuan Qi waved his sleeves and leaned forward. He looked impatient and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't leave anything out. Just say it. "
Wang Yu was not happy, even a little angry. With his status from the Wang Family of Taiyuan, even if he met the Puzhou General Manager, he could still straighten his back. The other party had to be respectful to him.
Xiao Yuan Qi didn't give him any face.
But now Wang Yu had a favor to ask, so Wang Yu suppressed his anger and said, "Boss Xiao, you're a straightforward person. I'll just say it. I'm here to ask you to kill a group of people from Mount Hengniu for my Wang Family. Of course, the price won't be low, and we won't treat you badly. "
"Guards!"
Wang Yu ordered.
He saw two attendants carrying a large box into the room. This large chest was half the height of a person and nearly six feet long. It was an extremely large chest. The attendants walked to where Wang Yu was and put the box on the ground with a bang.
Wang Yu opened the box.
Dazzling golden light shone brightly.
Inside the box, gold bars and many precious jade objects were neatly placed. It was full of jewelry. Just the treasures, jade, and gold in this chest alone were worth a lot.
Wang Yu shook his sleeve and felt proud. He said with his head held high, "This money is the deposit of the Wang Family. If Chief Xiao completes the mission, then the Wang family will have even more money to thank you. "
"After the task is finished, the money will be more than you can count. At the very least, there are two of these big chests, which are filled with precious jade and gold. "
"Chief Xiao, this is a windfall."
Wang Yu was very proud and said, "With this money, Chief Xiao and his subordinates can use it for a long time. For the next six months or even a year, Chief Xiao doesn't have to do anything. You don't have to worry about food and water. "
Xiao Yuanqi looked at the money and didn't show any greed. He actually didn't have much desire for money. It was just that he had so many brothers under his command that he needed to take care of them, so he needed money to operate.
Xiao Yuanqi said, "You must have a big request. You've given me so much money, what you want to do is not easy. Let's hear it first. If it's feasible, I'll take it. If it's not feasible, then it's another story. "
Wang Yu said, "Chief Xiao's men are all elites. I've heard that Chief Xiao was chased by more than a thousand people, but he wasn't afraid at all and escaped unscathed. Each of you can fight against ten people. You're enough to succeed. "
Xiao Yuanqi said, "Speak human language!"
Wang Yu's face suddenly stiffened.
There was a trace of displeasure on his face. Because Xiao Yuanqi didn't have the slightest respect for him, and spoke vulgarly, which made Wang Yu lose face.
Wang Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "The task of the Wang Family is very simple. Chief Xiao, arrange people to kill Du Ruhui's family from Chang 'an. Du Ruhui's identity is the substitute governor of the province arranged by the imperial court. I need Chief Xiao to kill the Wang Family's men and leave no one alive. "
Xiao Yuanqi frowned.
It was not easy.
Xiao Yuanqi knew Du Ruhui, but he knew Du Ruhui because of Du Qi.
Many people knew what Du Qi did at Yanmen Gate in the Northern Region. Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde went to the Turks together to thwart the conspiracy of Xieli Khan, and even helped King Dingxiang Li Daen defeat the Turks.
So Xiao Yuanqi knew Du Ruhui's family.
